      What would be the point? If there's going to be a run on sterling, then just let it devalue and sell stuff to the rest of the world at knock down prices.

        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              So is it safe to say that our economy is just a little bit fooked afer Brown put an end to boom and bust?
              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!

                  It is most certainly NOT safe to say that. You can expect a visit from the counter terrorism squad any moment now.
